“…For the purposes that they think different cases will have different purposes, and the trust should be evaluated bases on these different purposes. For example the paper [5] is using direct trust, recommendation, incentive function, and active degree on the nodes to measure the trust; and the paper [6] uses communication trust, data trust, and energy trust that in communication trust it has direct trust and indirect trust; and the papers [7][8][9][10] all have different purposes and metrics, but they both use the direct trust and indirect trust metrics. There are two popular ways to combine the metrics in current trust algorithms which weight factors in [10] and fuzzy logic in [17].…”

Security issues for Wireless sensor network (WSN) is always crucial due to its nature. The limitation of computing resources and distributed properties in WSN makes the traditional security mechanisms no longer as feasible in protecting WSN as in wired networks. There is an emerging research area to discover the alternative solutions on trust and reputation mechanisms for WSNs nowadays. The recent studies on trust are mainly focusing on trust modeling so as to effectively detect and avoid malicious activities in the network. To be able to avoid the attacks, the existence of at least an alternative route in the network is required. In this paper, we introduced the new angle of adaptive network to study the interplay between network entities' trust evaluation and its underlie topological connectivity. Inspired from the trust studies in sociology, we found the structural hole has high efficiency in connecting different unconnected networks. But in the security side of view, it is also making the network fragile. These have been confirmed by extensive simulation studies.

“…THE BYKA SCHEME Our scheme for authentication between the reader and card uses the BYka scheme [14] which enables these two devices who have not previously communicated with each other, to compute a shared secret pairwise key after obtaining each other's IDs. This is only possible if each device has a private key-set derived from its own ID and the master key kept by the company.…”

Abstract-Proximity Integrated Circuit Cards (PICC) are widely used for public transport fare collection. The stored contents in the card can only be accessed or modified after the card is able to authenticate the Proximity Coupling Device (PCD) or reader using a shared secret key.We propose a new authentication scheme that is not based on shared secret keys. Instead, authentication is based on the card and reader being able to compute an identical pairwise key using their own private keying material obtained from the same source. The computation is done off-line and does not require the participation of a third party. It uses simple modular arithmetic operations over a small binary extension field, achieving fast computation speed using the limited resources in cards. In addition, should the keys be stolen from the cards or readers, the security of the other parts of the system cannot be compromised.

The security of the Multiple-Key Blom's (MKB) key agreement scheme is analysed. We considered how the scheme may be broken by a very powerful and well resourced adversary who is able to capture any number of nodes to extract all the sensitive keying material. We showed that by choosing suitable keying parameters, the captured private keys cannot be used directly to break the scheme. Each captured key must first be correctly associated with the public key and master key used to compute it. The chances of finding this private-public-master-key association (PPMka) can be made extremely small and would require the attacker to capture a very large number of nodes, or try an extremely large number of possible solutions. This allows the scheme to be secure for use in large networks, overcoming the limitations in the original Blom's scheme. We obtained some analytical results and compared them to those from computer simulated attacks on the scheme.
